Jutaro¯ Komura discusses the situation concerning the Russian vessel of war Askold being repaired at the port of Shanghai. When it was discovered that the repairs would restore fighting power to the vessel, the Japanese Consul General at Shanghai warned the Taotai that the repairs were in violation of neutral obligations and requested that the necessary repairs to make the vessel seaworthy be completed within two days. The Taotai replied that they had brought these demands to the Russian Consul but that the captain refused to leave the port or dismantle the vessel. However, the Chinese Government agreed to make demands upon the Russian minister and instruct the Taotai.
